Hello, I'm Dolly

Hello, I'm Dolly was Dolly Parton's 1967 debut album. (She had previously contributed tracks to a 1963 Kitty Wells/Patsy Cline tribute album, but Hello, I'm Dolly represented her first full-length album.) The album contained Parton's hits "Dumb Blonde" and "Something Fishy", both of which reached the top twenty on the U.S. country singles charts, and the album itself reache #11 on the country albums chart, a remarkable achievement, considering that Parton was largely an unknown at that point.

The album (along with its two hit singles, which received a considerable amount of airplay) also is largely credited with bringing Parton to the attention of Porter Wagoner, who, in late 1967, would invite Parton to join his band and appear on his weekly television show.
